About Rome
Why Rome
Rome is famous as the hub of the Roman Empire and its far-reaching international development of civilization. Now, the capital of Italy is an incredibly popular tourist destination, with visitors flooding there to see the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain, the Vatican, and the Pantheon. Industrially, it holds an important role in high-tech services—think IT, aerospace, defense—and banking.
